In 1992 I started New England G-Scale Trains to sell G-Scale cars (made
by USA Trains) with custom art work that I had designed or licensed. I did this
for about 4 years and had some success - but not as much as I had hoped
for.

Bollinger Edgerly Scale Trains was formed in the summer of 1996. For the first
two years we concentrated on ballasts and had a pretty good selection
...but then we lost two of our suppliers. Considering that finding a supplier for quality scale ballast
was difficult, and shipping was high on ballast, we decided to stop
carrying ballast for the time being. Besides ballast, we also had a small
selection of laser cut craftsman kits available.

In 1998 I started construction on my own house (1:1 scale) and that took
up most of my time. Also, my partner (David Edgerly) lost interest and decided
to persue other avenues of income. As I started unpacking some of my
boxes, in 2001, I came across a few of the old kits and remembered
how much I enjoyed creating them and building them. So...

I contined the business on my own with just kits. Over the next several years
I began to build a growing inventory of kits and then added pewter cast deatail parts.

In the fall of 2006 we moved to Belmont, New Hampshire, in part, to gain
a larger work space. My wife is now working with me - what a lucky
guy I am. It was even her idea!

Sometimes we are able to purchase older companies (on their way to retirement) or quality prototype kits
from other manufacturers so that we can continue bringing them to you - rather than see
them fade away from existance.

We're in it because we enjoy it - and we hope that you enjoy the kits as much as we do
bringing them to you.
